Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 large Bell peppers (red and green), sliced
- 8 ounces Button mushrooms, sliced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Dry white wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened. Add them to the crock pot.
Add the sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and white wine (if using) to the crock pot.
Sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Cover the crock pot and set it to low heat. Cook for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Once done, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm over cooked pasta, rice, or alongside crusty bread for a complete meal.
